#

ah, the frost mage can do a thing here, can u change for us for this fight?

uneven mason
#

Had to swap to fury, use cauldrons and then swap back

jagged pier
#

thats not how fights work tbh

#

its ither ST or multi target

#

thats how it works

pale roost
jagged pier
#

there are some choices interms of more movement or more self defence etc etc

#

and that can change on a fight to fight basis

modern brook
jagged pier
#

so multi target then

#

if there are integer adds

modern brook
#

peepohidei was memeing

#

peepohide (also1 is an integer)

jagged pier
#

i know and tbh theres some fights where adds arent worth an integer point tbh

modern brook

like the trogg king in JY ๐Ÿ˜  people keep padding the troggs ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

wdym padding?

sick sentinel

farming excess dmg thats irrelevant

okay guys just dont kill them

sick sentinel
#

but i can't fault them for doing it

uneven mason
jagged pier
#

oh i forgot the you

jagged pier
#

cro and ppl legit dont run to the pilons

#

because they all get ST increase from not killing them

cobalt seal
#

yeah

#

that's because of ST that we do it

sick sentinel
#

i most did 2 pylons in my groups maybe 3

#

never 4, 4 is a waste of everyones time over kill

someones sacrificing dps/hps for that due to running long distance

#

people are going to learn big time about why you need certain cc's and interupts

#

when you have to actively chose to take it

uneven mason
#

Like making missed interrupt kill the tank is a flawed design

sick sentinel
#

they will very quickly find out why they need to take self sustain heal/dr thingies also i say too

uneven mason
#

Yeah

sick sentinel
#

i don't exactly think that a cast that basically 1 shots the healer or the tank if you miss interrupting it is a bad thing

uneven mason
#

Which is why most "best build" guides that focus on raw damage while ignoring survival and utilities irritate me

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

well yeah, thats some backwards thinking for sure, but whatever

heavy temple
#

Are we going to get hit with the nerf bat?

uneven mason
#

Not - cockmonkey rogue didn't kick the second tankbuster that gets cast more than my interrupt cd allows for

uneven mason
#

But all in all they're tuning mob damage

#

Just had a 40% increase in mobs output

sick sentinel
#

the main thing is that blizzard has to get all the combat related numbers hammered out

He's not wrong that Pwarr has the most community attention as the "OP" tank, even though VDH and BDK are right at the same level

strong forum
#

It's just people finding out for the first time that a tank can actually just not lose hp

#

After playing vdh and bdk in SL

#

The initial novelty is what makes them deem it so very OP

#

It's very strong yes

#

Absolutely

But not as oppressive as some people make it seem to be

minor helm

They only made pwar strong for df to sell level boosts to all the bdks and brms

A good bdk is just as immortal

Sooo... anyone know if the Ignore Pain formula on wowhead is correct? [(0 + Attack power * 3.5) * (1 + Versatility)]

uneven mason
#

Yeah

lusty bobcat
#

because I am definitely missing something

uneven mason
#

What are you missing

lusty bobcat
#

probably just me misunderstanding - the versa part

#

tried with both the % and the actual value

#

both are off compared to the in-game tooltip

agile pumice
#

1 + vers means if you have say 10% vers it's 1+0.1=1.1

uneven mason
#

Tooltips

torn gulch

if you have 30% that formula is 1+0.30 right?

or 1+(30/100)

You get my point though, I was just playing around with the wowhead talent calculator

well in the m+ for 70 we take every stop anyway

----------Best Build for M+----------
Bigger ST dmg than other builds, 100% SB uptime, higher rage gen through Batterin Ram, CDs all line up with Booming Voice, doesn't rely on high haste to feel good.

What are overall thoughts on prot tree? Now that Iโ€™ve had the chance to play it quite a bit, I feel that there isnโ€™t really much changing based on dungeons as I thought there would be

its the best tree in the game, maybe only second to warlock

except enha shaman had like 3/4 builds

onyx briar

Well shit, didn't mean to break the prayer

prisma crane
peak bramble
#

think of d stance as a defensive cooldown

thin silo
#

you swap to D stance optionally to help eat large damage spikes, but otherwise you're tanky enough if you're hitting your abilities to rock B stance most the time

trim solstice
#

Thanks. Been playing prot wrong this whole time lol

prisma crane
#

well

#

feel free to sit in D stance until you get the feel for the class if you want a buffer

thin silo
#

no abilities are tied to specific stances, and the stance swap is on a 3s CD independent of the GCD so there's virtually zero opportunity cost to switching on the fly

prisma crane
#

but generally once you feel safe you dont need to use it unless for the above mentioned reasons

peak bramble
#

try to play battle for a whole key just to see how it feels

#

you'll quickly tune into where you feel vulnerable and might want to swap to d stance

#

as you play better you'll need to use it less so what you need to swap to d stance now might not be what you need in the future when you're better

radiant magnet
#

treat D Stance like training wheels. your goal should be to outgrow D stance with proper play. until you achieve that, Dstance gives you some protection for your mistakes.

#

By the time you reach a point where you know which tankbuster keys or moments actually need D Stance, you'll be skilled enough to easily swap

You dipped out of Battle Stance, so you're a coward

other than that what are you even asking for here? It's not like we can see banner uptime since you're not Necro, so there's not really much notable to glean from this. The only thing that could potentially matter is shield block uptime, but we actually care about how many hits you blocked. The lack of 100% block uptime could have been for a variety of reasons and doesn't tell us much alone, so you either need to send a log or figure out what you want

pallid quiver

Hold up are you supposed to tank mythic+ in battle stance

#

And not defensive

pallid quiver
#

There's nothing that comes close to challenging our survivability, so we take the extra damage

Mainly just up time on everything defensive i cant seem to maintain shield block a 100 % of the time. I switched out when i pulled stuff and healer was not there and forgot to switch out of it

I haven't seen anything scary enough that's not handled via shield wall/demo shout. If you run into something that will kill you, you can swap in and then back out

mellow quartz
#

You can swap off gcd and itโ€™s a 3s cd to change back.

pallid quiver

Standard autos are nigh impossible for us to die to, which is the bulk majority of damage intake

So most scary damage you can see coming and either stop or CD up

is there a good addon that tracks how much damage you blocked?

The amount you blocked is an irrelevant metric though. SB uptime is all that matters.

And what about Brutal Vitality bug - do we skip it? Do we play around it - if so, how?

quaint compass
marble cipher
#

So, this is the bug we're on about right (when someone mentions the "Violent Outburst bug")?

Thunderclap consumes Seeing Red at 7 stacks without benefitting off of Outburst

marble cipher
#

When reading the talent, Seeing Red should go into Outburst on the 8th stack, but, I'm currently just making some WA's to "work around" the bug, and notice it going from SR to VO at the 7th stack?

#

So, that's also a bug, but, a beneficial one? Or am I missing something?

jagged pier
#

yes so u never see 8 stacks

karmic plinth
#

if you use thunderclap at 7 seeing red stacks it consumes the buff without giving you violent outburst

marble cipher
#

I never see 7 stacks

#

(must be my WA's though haha... right?)

jagged pier
#

then your WA is wrong cause we get 7 stacks

quaint compass
#

stacks every 30 rage, spending 35 with IP could cause you to gain 2 stacks at once

#

if you were 25 into the stack

marble cipher
#

aaah

#

ok

#

makes sense

jagged pier
#

also that yes

quaint compass
#

IP 1 - 1 stack + 5
IP 2 - 2 stack + 10
IP 3 - 3 stack + 15
IP 4 - 4 stack + 20
IP 5 - 5 stack + 25
Shield Block - 6 stack + 25
IP 6 - 8 stack

#

and so on

marble cipher
#

yeah, I didn't account for the "overspent rage" and went with the dumb solution that "35 rage is one stack, the 5 rage left is just gone"

quaint compass
#

yuh

marble cipher
#

But, all that aside, having a WA that screams "don't TC" when you're at 7 stacks should be enough right?
Even if you ever jump from 6 stacks directly into Outburst (cause of "over-rage"), the bug won't happen, as it's only happening when on exactly 7 stacks?

Why havent our bugs been fixed yet? Do you think Blizz is like thinking they should change or remove those talents completly and thats why they dont do anything about those bugs?

what?

#

TC isnt a noodle ability anymore

pallid quiver
#

in ST in comparison to SS

#

It's so much better that it was through SL,

#

but it is still feels bad in pure ST to throw outburst on TC instead of SS

marble cipher
# strong forum Cuz you don't want to send outburst randomly

my brain can't really wrap around this to be fair, in the context of mythic+, you would never really just be sending it "randomly" though?
As you'll just have outburst and your next TC/SS will do more damage, passively
What decision making could there be to "hold" it aka "not sending it randomly" (honest question, I feel I'm missing the usecase)

pallid quiver
#

It gives a ton more rage if you pump it into SS over TC

#

It scales with the SS-rage increase talents like Wall, as well

#

Which gives you more rage to fuel AM to get more Avatar/SW

jagged pier
pallid quiver
#

But if you're in AoE, TC is hella giga-dam, especially with outburst

#

so you have to, like, make decisions

jagged pier
#

on less than 4 targets u always want to use it on SS
on 4 + targets in avatar with UF u use it on TC
on 6+ targets u use it on TC

what, this game makes me think? blasphemy!

#

you also need to take in your current raid etc

when your at 8 stacks

if your close to cap

u dont want to press ither u want to dump rage

so u dont over cap on the next cast

u need to take all these things into account to choose what your going to do next

#

its not a passive increase it can be

#

but it will do far less for u if u treat it that way

#

also thanks for the specific breakpoints, jakey, i forgot whether it was 3 or 4 for the avatar cutoff

Seeing Red maybe instead of Seething?

#

The buff you get outburst from

pallid quiver
#

not that

#

not that it's gonna be as noticeable as it was with the tier set having avatar instant-set outburst, but

#

Oh I see!

#

That's also why Jakey mentioned you want to dump rage while at max stats with high "raid" (he meant rage), since overcapping rage is literally wasting it, and you have 30 seconds to spend that Outburst

#

... it is 30 seconds, right? i dunno it's something wildly long

jagged pier
#

its long enough to dump rage

#

and yer my spelling its working today still missing 14 hours of sleep from the weekend

pallid quiver
#

it's long enough to get an entire other outburst

#

I thought you were on phone getting autocorrect'ed

Do we know which 2 trinkets will be bis for m+ content?

hardy snow
cobalt seal
#

Trinket 1 and trinket 2

mellow quartz
#

Trinket tuning is great. There are some that do 0.2% and some that do 3-5% of your overall.

I wasn't able to play these last two weeks - so seismic reverberation is not the play anymore?

marble cipher
#

talent, or legendary?
Cause you can easily wear the legendary and pick another talent (or vice versa)
Reprisal/Wall/Seismic, all playable atm, just swap some talents here and there

Or just go no lego

#

Like those if us who are too lazy to craft better ones

marble cipher
#

or that ๐Ÿ˜„

brisk sparrow
#

I see, thank you

#

also why i warrior exactly seen as so strong right now? is it mostly due to reflects on top of being so sturdy now and consistent aoe? I kinda thought with gavel being so stupidly strong, dks would still domonate prepatch^^

#

especially after it getting buffed by 60%

#

People dont know how to play bdk lol

marble cipher
#

"oh noes, tier gone"

uneven mason
#

Bdk are dominant

marble cipher
#

was to be expected

uneven mason
#

But yeah takes brains now

#

Bdk didnt play with tier, tier played with them.

#

well fae dk and making sure to stand in dnd feels pretty strong still - but logs and raiderio don't seem to favour them anymore as much^^

uneven mason
brisk sparrow
#

just confuses me a little^^

uneven mason
#

Normally in an xpac release they nerf warriors into the dirt because "warriors scale with gear" is the mantra

#

This time they actually listened to reality and allowed us to have resources and mitigation tools up front rather than waiting for us to hit 30% haste

#

to be honest, I really didn't like the kiting meta that shadowlands started with, and with how sturdy most tanks seem to be right now , I hope that is gone - except for maybe special mobs or mechanics

uneven mason
#

It's hard to tell if that won't come back

brisk sparrow
#

which I think is quite nice - if I only had to kite the big skeletons in DOS back then, when they glow and get even bigger - that seems like a fun mechanic - rather then running around with my pants down 40$ of the dungeon^^

uneven mason
#

They've got to get in the sweet spot for upper limits in dungeons where ability to tank meshes with top end ability to kill adds in time

placid vale
#

Prot is damn strong and fun in Beta tbh

#

Smashing with your feet and applying Rend to everything in sight

brisk sparrow
#

so to come back to my earlier question, dk just got a little harder to play and isn't immortal anymore - so the other tanks just caught up and see more play?^^

#

well besides druids...^^

uneven mason
#

Mind you we'll see the kite meta reappear if some classes continue to be uncapped in aoe

#

Because you're encouraging bigger and bigger pulls to offset actual kill times

#

Bdk is immortal

#

It just requires enough intelligence to tie your shoes

#

Which most people who metachase and fotm don't have

#

But right now, they're still tuning

#

I'd expect to see warriors and vdh brought down in tankyness

#

Brm dru and pal brought up

brisk sparrow
#

well i might be more of a velcro type of guy myself though ^^

uneven mason
#

Brm is probably due for a damage down
